ISS Update from the Director 📢

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that our Indigenous Wellness Counsellor, Lissa Lavallee, has recently resigned from her position. We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we are committed to continuing to support your wellness needs during this transition.

Lissa has been an invaluable part of our community, providing compassionate care and support to many of you. We are grateful for her contributions and the positive impact she has made. Please join us in wishing her all the best in her future endeavors.

In the meantime, we are working diligently to ensure there is no disruption to the services you rely on. If you have any immediate concerns or need support, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.

Students may also access support from Student Wellness Centre located on the 2nd floor of PGCLL, 905-525-9140 ext. 27700

Thank you for your understanding and continued engagement with our services.

Chrissy Doolittle,
Director, Indigenous Student Services

Want to help spread some Holiday Cheer this year?

This month, ISS will be hosting a Food and Toy Drive within our Space (LRW 1811) in support of The Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg Holiday Hamper Program!

The goal of this drive is to provide our community members with items they may need over the more challenging holiday season. As such, we are asking the McMaster Indigenous Community to come on out and support the cause!

Bring your non perishable food items, personal items, and new toys to the ISS Collection Box at the Front Desk in LRW 1811 from November 6th to 29th during our regular office hours to donate!

Not sure what to bring? Swipe on the post to view our Wishlists of Needed Items!

Please Note: For this drive, we are unable to accept any clothes (new or used), used items, damaged items, or expired food. Thank you for your understanding.

And thank you in advance for your support! Happy (early) Holidays!
